Australian couples have embraced lab-grown diamonds for engagement rings, from Sydney to Perth. Here are the styles we see most often, and what to consider for each.
The trilogy ring
Three stones, for past, present and future. Australians call it a trilogy ring (elsewhere, a three-stone ring). Popular combinations:
- an oval centre with pear side stones
- an emerald cut centre with tapered baguettes
- three matching rounds for a classic look
The oval solitaire
Ovals look larger per carat and flatter the hand. With lab-grown diamonds, many couples choose 1.5 to 2.5 carats. Look for a length-to-width ratio of around 1.35–1.50 and minimal bow-tie.
The hidden halo
A ring of small diamonds under the centre stone, visible from the side. Subtle from above, a lovely surprise in profile.
Other favourites
- Elongated cushions for a soft, vintage feel
- Emerald cuts for modern elegance
- Toi et moi (two stones side by side) for something different
Tips for Australian buyers
- Choose 14K or 18K gold or platinum for daily wear.
- Get an IGI report for the centre stone.
- Think about the wedding band now; some settings need a curved or notched band.
- Under the India–Australia ECTA, most Indian exports enter Australia duty-free; GST still applies on imports.
